To ALL WHoM IT'MAY coNoERN;

Ble it known that I, THOMAS BROWN, of Roseburg, in the countyloiDouglas, and `State of Oregon, have invented certain new and usefulimprovements on a. WashingvMachiney-ond I` do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, andexact description of the constructionan'd operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making-zt port of thisspecica'tion, in which- Figure 1 is e transversesection, und

Figure 2 is a perspective view. v

In fig. 1, a is the tub o1' vat, concave at the bottom, und set withthree-cornered fixed rubbers, those on each side being inclined towardthe centre, B isal frame fitting the top of the vat, and turning onhinges at c?. c is the dasher, working ou vgudgeons at e, andterminating above in the levers and handle The dasher is also set at thebottom with three-cornered xed rubbers inclined toward the centre.' 2shows the position and working of 'the rubbers. l l

The machineis' constructed throughout of pine or other lumber, from oneto one and one-huit' inch in thickness. It is worked by raisingthe-frame B, filling the vat about onethird full of Water, putting inthe -clothes, putting down the frame, Aand working the dasher bythehandle and leversf.

I disclaim the discovery of the principle of washing clothes bymachinery, and aleo the invention of thrcecornered fixed rubbers.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Potent, is-

The combination of the frame B, jointed at d, with the beater C und ribsinclined towards the centre, and the rubbers at the bottom of thetub,also similarly inclined, all arranged and operating' substantially asand for the purposes herein desiredf I i THOMAS BROWN.
